CIU’s Athletics Department celebrated a season of growth and recognized student-athletes for their achievements this school year at an athletics banquet on March 31. The CIU Rams are in their second season of intercollegiate athletics.

Athletics Director Kim Abbott says she is pleased with each athlete’s commitment to the Lord and to their sport.

“We will continue to grow, and I think that was the theme of the evening — growth. We continue to look forward to our future, but tonight was a wonderful evening to reflect on the past year," Abbott said.

CIU Athletics will expand the sports it offers by adding women’s soccer in the 2015-2016 school year.
